My son is about to break through.

"Gu family!"

Gu Xuan, dressed in white, looked at the scene in front of him, a hint of nostalgia emerged in his eyes, but it was quickly hidden.

Since he left home.

It has been decades.

these years.

Gu Xuan stayed in the Taixu Holy Land to practice and hardly ever returned to Jiuzhou.

Until now.

Gu Xuancai just returned from the Taixu Holy Land.

For a cultivator at the Dao Palace level, decades of time are naturally nothing.

But that's the case.

Gu Xuan is now feeling a little homesick.

Subsequently.

His eyes fell on the river in front of him, and the hundred-foot-deep river water could not block his sight at all.

"Is this... a spirit beast?"

When Gu Xuan saw the koi at the bottom of the river, he looked a little surprised.

Spirit beast!

He had also seen it in Taixu Holy Land.

and so.

Gu Xuan was naturally no stranger to spiritual beasts.

However, the spiritual beasts cultivated in the Taixu Holy Land are not weak. They are capable of being comparable to the semi-saint level and can be regarded as strong beings at the ancestor level.

This is also the heritage of some ancient holy places.

now.

In Gu Xuan's opinion, the Carp King lurking in this river is at most a spiritual beast in the awakening stage.

The so-called awakening of the spirit.

The benchmark is the five realms of body refining of the human race.

Qi Ling goes on.

It is a transformation that is comparable to that of a grandmaster.

And the demon transformation that is comparable to that of a grand master.

Further up.

They are demon generals, demon commanders, demon kings, etc.

strictly speaking.

The level classification of spiritual beasts is actually similar to that of demons.

In Gu Xuan's opinion, the Carp King in front of him is a spirit beast in the Qi Ling realm, and is considered the weakest among all spirit beasts.

but--

Everything needs to be looked at from different perspectives.

It is undeniable.

The Carp King is indeed just an ordinary spirit beast in the Qi Ling realm now.

But Gu Xuan could see that, although this river looked ordinary, it was actually connected to the earth veins, and a steady stream of spiritual energy was converging here.

With such an enhancement of spiritual energy, ordinary river water is imbued with rich spiritual energy.

It is a natural advantage for spiritual beasts to grow here.

It can also be seen from here that the Gu family also values ​​this spiritual beast very much.

otherwise.

How could we let it survive here?

Except for Carp King who has already entered the Spiritual Awakening Realm.

The remaining koi are also in a stage where they are about to enter the spiritual awakening realm and transform into spiritual beasts.

Subsequently.

Gu Xuan withdrew his gaze, crossed the arch bridge, and walked directly to the door of the Gu family.

"The Second Young Master is back!"

The two Gu family guards were delighted when they saw Gu Xuan coming.

obviously.

These guards are all elders of the Gu family and are very familiar with Gu Xuan.

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Zhang, long time no see!"

Gu Xuan also smiled and nodded in response.

Gu Xuan was no stranger to these two people.

The group of people who followed Gu Qingfeng at the beginning, although they were called Gu family guards, were all very powerful. With the support of Gu family resources, they have now entered the realm of divine transformation.

See here.

Gu Xuan also sighed inwardly.

The monks in the Divine Transformation Realm guard the gate and act as guards.

Our own foundation is becoming more and more powerful.

In the Taixu Holy Land, those who are at the Divine Transformation Realm are considered strong masters. If they can be promoted to the Dao Palace Realm, they can even be promoted to the ranks of elders.

"The Second Young Master is back. I will go and report to the Patriarch right away!"

The guard whom Gu Xuan called Uncle Zhang immediately walked towards the Gu family, and the remaining person respectfully invited Gu Xuan in.

……

After learning that Gu Xuan returned.

Xu Yulan appeared to meet them as soon as possible.

"Xuan'er!"

"Mother!"

Gu Xuan looked at the woman in front of him, his face full of excitement.

But soon.

Gu Xuan discovered that he could not see through Xu Yulan's cultivation level.

this change.

This naturally shocked Gu Xuan a little.

As one of the nine holy sons of the Taixu Holy Land, and possessing the divine body of the Heavenly Phoenix, Gu Xuan reached the fourth level of the Dao Palace Realm before he was a hundred years old.

and this.

Or it is because Gu Xuan has been trying his best to hone his foundation over the years and has not been in a hurry to make a breakthrough.

if not.

Even entering the seventh or eighth level of Dao Palace Realm is not a problem.

But even so, ordinary cultivators of the seventh or eighth level of the Dao Palace Realm did not give Gu Xuan the illusion of being unfathomable as they did when facing Xu Yulan.

"I don't know what level of cultivation my mother has reached now, but I can't see through her?"

Gu Xuan couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yulan responded casually.

"I am now at the ninth level of the Dao Palace Realm."

"The ninth level of Dao Palace Realm——"

Gu Xuan was shocked.

He knew that his mother's aptitude was average, and he thought that this time he came back, he would give her some elixirs from the Taixu Holy Land so that his mother could further improve her cultivation and prolong her life.

result.

Now Xu Yulan told him that she had reached the ninth level of the Dao Palace Realm.

this change.

How could this not shock Gu Xuan?

The ninth level of Dao Palace realm!
Even in the Taixu Holy Land, they are extremely rare.

Without sufficient qualifications, it is absolutely impossible to reach this level.

Looking at Gu Xuan's changing expression, Xu Yulan couldn't help but smile.

“This is all thanks to your father. If he hadn’t provided me with resources, I wouldn’t have been able to break through to the ninth level of the Dao Palace Realm so quickly.

However, since he stayed in the Gu family for many years, the strength of his cultivation was secondary.

What I want to see most is that you grow up safely!"

Xu Yulan's face was full of kindness, but then she became a little angry.

"You too, left home for decades without a word, and even if you didn't come back, you didn't even let anyone bring you a message, making me worry for nothing."

"I know I was wrong!"

Gu Xuan hurriedly admitted his mistake.

Facing Xu Yulan, he did not dare to show any disrespect. As one of the nine holy sons of Taixu Holy Land, he now stood aside respectfully and allowed the former to scold him.

Seeing him like this, Xu Yulan's anger disappeared and a look of heartache appeared on her face.

"Forget it, since I'm back this time, I'll stay a little longer."

"Also, if possible, it is better to just stay at home instead of going to the Taixu Holy Land."

“After so many years of cultivation, you are still at the fourth level of the Dao Palace Realm. Going to the Taixu Holy Land is the same as not going there. Your eldest brother is already at the ninth level of the Dao Palace Realm, and your nephew is also at the fifth level of the Dao Palace Realm.

Looking at you again, your third brother is also a worry. He has been gone for so many years and there is no news. As a mother, I worry every day..."

Xu Yulan was chattering a lot, and Gu Xuan didn't interrupt her, but he looked a little embarrassed.

At the same time, there was a lot of shock on his face.

Gu Yang breaks through the ninth level of Dao Palace Realm!
this matter.

Gu Xuan was not surprised at all.

Although he had been in the Eastern Region for many years, he had some understanding of Gu Yang's deeds.

My eldest brother’s fighting power is enough to rival that of a semi-saint.

But thinking about the fact that he has always been the most outstanding one among the three brothers, and now he is in charge of an empire and is valued by his father, it is normal for him to have such achievements.

but--

What the hell is a nephew?

The oldest of his nephews is about twenty years younger than him.

Breaking through the fifth level of Dao Palace Realm at this age made Gu Xuan feel like it was a fairy tale.

“Well, Taixu Holy Land is an ancient holy land after all, and its heritage is naturally extraordinary. Gu Xuan’s ability to reach this point is inseparable from the cultivation of Taixu Holy Land.

Now that he has achieved success in his cultivation, if he abandons the Taixu Holy Land and returns to the Gu family, how can our Gu family be so ungrateful! "

At this moment, a slightly majestic voice was heard.

Gu Xuan looked in the direction of the voice and immediately bowed respectfully.

"I've met my father!"

"The fourth level of Dao Palace Realm, the foundation is considered solid, it seems that there has been no slacking in the past few years."

Gu Qingfeng looked at the person in front of him, sized him up for a moment, and nodded.

at the same time.

When Gu Qingfeng looked at him, Gu Xuan only felt a terrifying pressure suddenly coming towards him, causing his blood, energy and soul to stagnate, as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing.

The cultivation level of the fourth level of Dao Palace Realm, which is enough to match the top combat power of the seventh or eighth level of Dao Palace Realm, seems to be useless at this moment.

Such a change.

Gu Xuan was horrified.

But before he could be too shocked, the pressure suddenly disappeared.

Until this time.

Gu Xuan only then realized that his back was soaked with sweat without him knowing when.

this moment.

Gu Xuan understood deeply how terrifying his father's strength was.

The strength that he was proud of was nothing in front of the other party.

If Gu Qingfeng was an enemy, it would probably only take a thought for him to kill him.

Seeing Gu Xuan's relatively calm expression, Gu Qingfeng nodded secretly.

Not bad!

At least he can withstand his own pressure and has not been turned into waste by the Taixu Holy Land.

In fact.

From the information panels over the years, Gu Qingfeng could also tell that Gu Xuan was not a greenhouse flower who was carefully protected and cared for by the Taixu Holy Land.

……

The next few days.

Gu Xuan always stayed in the Gu family and spent most of his time with Xu Yulan.

Deep love between mother and child.

After being apart for decades, we should get along well with each other.

Five days later.

Gu Xuan came to the Knife Sharpening Hall to meet Gu Qingfeng.

As soon as he entered the knife sharpening hall, a terrifying aura suddenly hit him in the face. The strong pressure made Gu Xuan's shoulders sink, as if he was carrying an invisible mountain on his back, making it almost impossible for him to move.

at the same time.

The scenes inside the knife sharpening hall also appeared in Gu Xuan's eyes.

I saw that the interior of the lobby was simply furnished, except for many weapons placed on the left and right walls. Any weapon here would be considered a divine weapon if placed in the outside world.

And in the center of the knife grinding hall.

There was a magic sword inserted vertically there.

The majestic imperial power emanated from it, as if it could suppress heaven and earth forever.

And the pressure that Gu Xuan felt came from this.

Behind the divine sword.

On the futon.

Gu Qingfeng sat cross-legged.

"Come over here and do it to the best of your ability!"

Hearing Gu Qingfeng's words, Gu Xuan looked determined and walked forward step by step despite the pressure.

Each step.

All of them made him feel under great pressure.

Just three steps.

Gu Xuan felt as if he had just fought with a powerful warrior and felt extremely exhausted mentally.

But thinking of Gu Qingfeng's words, Gu Xuan gritted his teeth and continued to move forward step by step.

the fourth step!
the fifth step!
Step Six!
……

Step 13!

When he took the twentieth step, Gu Xuan's aura suddenly surged, and his soul seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation. His cultivation, which was originally at the fourth level of the Dao Palace Realm, finally broke through and was promoted to the fifth level of the Dao Palace Realm in one breath.

The moment he broke through, all the pressure suddenly dissipated, as if it had never existed.

But his rapidly increasing cultivation level made Gu Xuan realize that what had just happened was not an illusion.

"Yes, he was able to withstand the pressure of the Evil-Slaying Sword and advance twenty steps, and use this pressure to break through directly!"

Gu Qingfeng nodded with satisfaction.

have to say.

Gu Xuan’s current performance is considered good.

"I am ashamed!"

Hearing Gu Qingfeng's praise, Gu Xuan's face was filled with shame.

In front of his father, there is no difference between the fourth and fifth levels of the Dao Palace Realm.

It’s just because the gap between the two sides is so big, so big that it is completely unimaginable.

Gu Xuan knew it very well.

The Zhuxie Sword is just the sword that my father wore.

The pressure from the magic weapon that followed his father was almost too much for him to bear, not to mention his father's true strength.

Seeing Gu Xuan like this, Gu Qingfeng smiled silently.

“Don’t underestimate the Evil-Slaying Sword. This sword has been with my father for many years and has been promoted to the ranks of imperial weapons.

If you can use the full force of this sword to exert its power, even the emperor can fight!"

"It's quite good that you can withstand the pressure of such an imperial soldier."

"If it were any other cultivator at the same level, it would be a question whether they could take seven steps."

Gu Qingfeng’s words.

Gu Xuan felt relieved, but when he looked at the Zhuxie Sword again, his face was filled with shock.

“Imperial Soldier!!”

He never imagined that the Evil-Slaying Sword would be an imperial weapon.

Gu Xuan knew very well what the concept of imperial soldiers was.

Even with the might of the Taixu Holy Land, it only has one great holy weapon.

Even so.

That great holy weapon is also the most powerful foundation of Taixu Holy Land.

But soon.

Gu Xuan just calmed his mind.

He had been shocked too many times since he returned home.

Now, even if he sees the emperor's soldiers in person, he can calm down quickly.

"I asked you to come here today because I have something to give you."

Gu Qingfeng took out a magical elixir of immortality and lifted it in front of Gu Xuan with invisible force.

The latter looked at the elixir of immortality in front of him. Although he could not recognize its true origin, the vigorous breath of life contained in the elixir made Gu Xuan realize that the treasure in front of him was definitely not simple.

"This is the immortality elixir. Taking it can allow a cultivator to live another life. In addition, the medicinal power contained in it is enough to allow you to reach the semi-saint level!"

"The Immortal Elixir... Father is saying that this is the Immortal Elixir that has been rumored!!!"

Gu Xuan's face was filled with horror as he stared at the elixir of immortality in his hand, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Immortality elixir!

He has been in the Taixu Holy Land for many years, so how could he not know the existence of such a miraculous medicine.

When the great sage of Taixu Holy Land was old, he wanted to find an elixir of immortality to prolong his life so that he could live another life.

But in the end.

The great sage exhausted all the resources of the Taixu Holy Land, but was unable to find any trace of the elixir of immortality, so he died in depression.

This also indirectly illustrates the preciousness of the elixir of immortality.

Gu Xuan had never thought that Gu Qingfeng would have such a miraculous medicine in his hands, and that he would give it to him. (End of this chapter)
